| FUNCTION |
Regulates secA expression by translational coupling of the secM secA operon. Translational pausing at a specific Pro residue 5 residues before the end of the protein may allow disruption of a mRNA repressor helix that normally suppresses secA translation initiation (By similarity). |
| SUBCELLULAR LOCATION |
Cytoplasm, cytosol (By similarity). Periplasm (By similarity). Note=The active form is cytosolic, while the periplasmic form is rapidly degraded, mainly by the tail-specific protease (By similarity). |
| SIMILARITY |
Belongs to the SecM family. |
